Businesses and celebrities are making commitments to assist the Bahamas and organizations are asking the public to help with the relief efforts.

The Red Cross estimates 76,000 people in the Bahamas have been affected by Hurricane Dorian. Many reside on the battered Abaco Islands and the island of Grand Bahama.

Additionally, Sandals Foundation delivered 30,240 bottles of water on Sept. 3 to the northern Bahamian islands in partnership with the Bahamas Hotel Tourism Association, HeadKnowles and Odyssey Aviation Bahamas. "We are also presently packing a container of in-kind donations valued at $150,000 U.S. dollars of first response items such as chainsaws, generators, flashlights, tarp holdings, water coolers, energy sports drinks and cleaning supplies," the spokesperson said via email.

Carnival Corporation announced a partnership with Tropical Shipping and NEMA to collect NEMA-approved food and supplies from several Florida counties, including Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, to deliver to the ravaged Caribbean nation. On Facebook, financial guru Suze Orman said she was working with the Discovery Land Company Foundation's Abaco Relief Fund.

For all of those who have the money and resources to help, God bless them. There's something to be said for someone like chefjoseandres who was on the ground in the Bahamas beginning to serve meals as HurricaneDorian was on it's way out. Way to step up hermano!

Sadly, I'm not sure rebuilding anything more than a shanties, tiki huts, and minimal infrastructure is worthwhile...

Let's see what would help the Bahamas? MONEY Where does money come from- Capitalism Capitalism will save the Bahamas AOC BernieSanders BetoORourke JoeBiden So stop spreading Socialism it kills.

I wanna see all of Hollywood out there sweating their asses off getting dirty and putting them millions to work first

Try ball 'The Dogs'

And realDonaldTrump is STILL tweeting about Alabama. SMH

Good let the rich take care of it for a change!!!!!

Call in Billy McFarland. He will get shit done!

But nothing from the Trump administration. I suppose he doesn’t have a golf course and resort there

Please don’t forget most Americans do not have $400 dollars in their bank accounts! They need help and raises in wages too! taxbreaksmyass

Free or loans?

The world's nations can assist too........we never know when disaster strikes us.

Given that most of them use the Bahamas as a tax haven it’s the very least they can do

Give hillary a couple hundred million and she'll run down there and build three houses.
